Cloud VPS FAQs

Are all VPS hosting plans managed?

Yes, by default all of our servers come managed! Our servers are configured with a Fully Managed image using your choice of cPanel/WHM or Plesk control panel. Management level is determined by which server image is being used. If desired, you can customize your desired level of management level. View full details of our management tiers here. We’re confident we’ve got you covered!

What operating systems can I get on a VPS? Can I install my own OS?

On our VPS platform we currently offer the following 64-bit operating systems:

CentOS 6

CentOS 7

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Debian 8

Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition

Unfortunately the VPS platform does not allow installation of custom operating systems. If the offered operating systems are not the right fit you may want to consider a Dedicated Server.

Can I customize the settings and versions of PHP and other software on my VPS?

Absolutely! You will have full root access to your server. If you opt for a VPS with a control panel, you can easily alter any of these settings via those tools. You also have full access to our 24x7x365 Heroic Support ™ team who will be happy to help you out when you need it.

Which VPS should I choose?

If you have never purchased a VPS server before the initial choice can seem daunting. The most important aspects to consider when picking your VPS will be: Disk Space and RAM. You'll need to know some basic usage information before you can select exact specifications.

Ultimately, you will require more Disk Space and RAM than your site or app uses currently to provide room for growth. We have highly trained Solutions Architects available 24/7/365 who can assist with selecting the appropriate VPS for your needs.

How long will my VPS take to setup?

Our cloud provisioning system is able to rapidly deploy new servers after orders have been verified. The setup time for a VPS server actually varies depending on if you are using a Linux or Windows operating system. On Linux based servers you should see the VPS online within 15-30 minutes. For a Windows based server you will see the VPS online within 1-2 hours.

What does "Fully Managed" mean?

Having a Fully Managed product, or service, means that we don't just create your server and leave the rest to you. Our teams are here to assist on your journey as you need help. Fully Managed support means that we'll help handle software updates, security patches and the LAMP stack.

That means we'll manage the core infrastructure, so you can focus on your website and business. It's just that simple. Our highly trained staff is ready to manage your hardware, web server and even offer best-effort support for third-party software.

How do I move my site?

Once your VPS boots for the first time you can request a Site Migration from our dedicated Migrations team. Our highly-trained Migrations specialist will do all the heavy lifting for you. We just need some information from you before we can begin.

Yes! By using a Storm VPS you have access to cloud based server resizes and migrations. If you run out of disk space, or find your server low on RAM, you can easily resize your server with a few button clicks.
